Scorsese's "The Saints" Docudrama Returns with Millennial Saint Episode

On November 16, 2025, Martin Scorsese's critically acclaimed docudrama series "The Saints" is set to return to Netflix for its second season. The series, which highlights the lives of various Christian saints, will feature episodes dedicated to Saint Patrick, Saint Peter, and the recently canonized "millennial saint" Carlo Acutis.

The first four episodes of Season 2 will air weekly, from November 16 to December 7, 2025, with a second batch of episodes scheduled to premiere in 2026. Scorsese, who serves as the host, narrator, and executive producer of the series, has long had a fascination with Christianity, having directed films such as "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "Silence."

One of the standout episodes in the upcoming season is the December 7 installment focused on Carlo Acutis, directed by Scorsese's own daughter, Francesca Scorsese. This marks Francesca's first formal directorial collaboration with her father, as she explores Acutis' use of the internet to spread the word of Christ, earning him the reputation of being the first "millennial saint."

In addition to the Acutis episode, Season 2 of "The Saints" will also delve into the lives of other revered figures, including Saint Patrick and Saint Peter. The series, created by Matti Leshem and developed by Scorsese for Lionsgate Alternative Television, continues to captivate audiences with its in-depth exploration of these influential Christian saints.
